, Wide Band Amplifiers 1


The MMIC (Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuits) are wide band integrated circuits often used as simple amplifiers,
they are designed to replace the transistor and help the designer to build RF amplifiers. Loosely but realistically MMICs
are the evolution of thick film ICs (in fact in this section are listed also some old thick film amplifiers).
Without going into technical detail, because it is available a very big quantity of documentation, in few words we can
say that the MMIC is used to simplify an amplification chain without worrying about possible self oscillations, instability,
impedance mismatching or the bias, the MMIC can solve all these problems. With MMICs design is made easier,
securer and more repeatable, all models are matched nearly at 50 / 75 Ω of input impedance.
MMICs are used to ease design process and improve the RF circuits repeatability, their implementation is very easy so
the Ohm’s law only is needed to calculate the other components of the circuits. Here are explained the 3 classical
circuits for power supply and decuopling.
A) MMICs normally use the 4 leads configuration, input, output with power supply and two gound connections. Rarely
some types have a separate power supply lead, some others have the bias lead to adjust the current.
B) The decoupling capacitors are used only to block the DC power supply, the value must be a short circuit at the
desired frequency. Cb bypass capacitor is used only to short circuit the RF to avoid self oscillations of the MMIC
and to avoid that possible noise can enter in the MMIC, the choice of this capacitor is very important if the MMIC
has a high gain or there are more than one amplification stage.
C) The bias resistor has the purpose of lowering the power supply voltage from the available value to the right power
supply value of the MMIC (for example from Vc 12V to Vd 5V)
D) It is always suggested to use an inductance, in this case the decoupling is increased on the power supply, it can be
avoided in the case that the calculated R is so high that it is enough to obtain a good decoupling (for example R >
150 / 200 Ω). Instead the inductance must be inserted when the power supply voltage is similar to the working
voltage of the MMIC (that is if Vd = Vc), in fact in this case it is not possible to insert the bias resistor on power
supply and the decoupling is made by the inductance itself. The same if the power supply resistor has a too low
value (up to 80 / 100 Ω).
E) To improve performaces of these devices, especially at higher frequencies, it is suggested to use SMD or with very
short leads components in particular for all ground connections

Example of calculation for the famous MAR6, assume to have 6V (Vc) of


power supply, from the MAR6 specifications we see that it works with 3.5V of
power supply (Vd) and a current of 16mA { Vc and Vd in V - Id in A }
R calculation = (Vc - Vd) : Id ( 6-3,5 ) : 0,016 = 150Ω
In this case being R quite high we can avoid to put the decoupling
inductance.
Cd examples Cb examples
min freq. = 1 MHz about 47 nF ≥ 470 nF
min freq. = 10 MHz about 4,7 nF ≥ 47 nF
min freq. = 100 MHz about 470 pF ≥ 4.7 nF
min freq. = 1 GHz about 47 pF 470 pF + 10 nF
We suggest to use Cd input and output without exceding the capacity
because it is better that the circuit tends to attenuate at lower frequencies.
(A capacitor in series behaves as a bland high pass filter).

In case the power supply voltage is very close or equal to that of MMIC
(Vc = Vd) it is not possible to use a bias resistor, in this case it is mandatory
to use an inductance to separate the RF between the MMIC and the power
supply, examples of L values:
min freq. = 1 MHz about 27 µH - min freq. = 10 MHz about 2.7µH
min freq. = 100 MHz about 270nH - min freq. = 1 GHz about 27 nH

This is the optimal circuit configuration because it is obtained the maximum


possible decoupling, in fact it is summed the resistance value to the
inductance reactance.
The limiter resistor is useful also to permit a sort of limitation on the bias
current and accordingly a higher tolerance in power supply voltage.

NOTE : in case of high value inductances (> 10 µH) should be considered a little residual resistance due to the wire of
the inductance itself.

M.M.I.C. , Wide Band Amplifiers 2

Given the huge variety of MMIC devices, but especially the wide variety of performances and
technical specifications, we decided to group all these devices in a table of 3 pages. To facilitate the
search we have divided them according to their main characteristics:
Low cost and general purpose low cost
Low noise NF < 3 dB
High dynamic medium output power +10 / +17 dBm
High output power > 17 dBm > 50 mW
Very flat gain it can be used on instrumentation to have flat gain on wide band
high S12 , ie high reverse insulation between output and input, for example as
High reverse insulation buffer for VCOs and oscillators
Variable gain with pin for gain control
Differential amplifier
Low voltage power supply < 3.5 V
Other special feateures see table below

This table is used for a fast search of the device, other features will be then shown on following
pages with prices and eventually a test report for MMICs considered more interesting.

Low noise high dynamic M.M.I.C. 5
The following products AM-1, AG-101G, AG-102 and MAALSS0034 are MMICs from the prestigious Watkins Johanson
and MaCom brand for high dynamic range applications (+16 to +22 dBm), but with a very low noise (1,6 to 2,5 dBNF).
The case is the consolidated SOT89 that guaratees a good dissipation even when it is used with a fair current. These
MMICs implement GaAs-FET technology and they are suitable for many applications, especially as post-amplifier after
very low noise stages.
For example, suppose to use them after a MGA-62563 MMIC or a MAR6, you will get some more decibel of gain greatly
increasing the dynamic with an output level up to +16 / +22 dBm. Another interesting application is as a driver for a
broadband power module like BGD802, in fact the BGD802 to give the output power of 1 W it requires about 30 mW of
input, so these MMICs are the right choice also as TX driver. The application diagram is extremely simple, just the usual
dc-block capacitor and a choke for power supply are needed.
In conclusion, the AM-1, AG-102, AG101G and MAALSS0034 MMICs can be used for all applications requiring good
dynamic associated with a low noise, as drivers for a higher power stage but also as a buffer stage with medium gain
suitable for any need.

The table indicates the continuous output power (P1dB), expressed in dBm and in mW, and the frequency range

From the diagram it is possible to get the device number, below the comparison chart “NUMBER = MMIC“
1 = CGY 21 over 50 MHz + GPA 505 dc - 500 MHz ( max 1 GHz ) ---- 2 = ERA 5 up to 5.5 GHz + VNA 25 up to 2.5 GHz
3 = SNA 676 ---- 4 = RF 2145 ---- 5 = LMX 2119M ---- 6 = PM 2107 ---- 7 = MAAMSS0049 ---- 8 = MAV 11
9 = MGA 83563 ---- 10 = GPD 405 ---- 11 = BGD 802 # ---- 12 = MHW 9242 # ---- 14 = CGY 52
# they are power modules, the others are MMICs listed in this section

high performances professional MMICs


These particular ICs are used in professional field, such as final stage or driver in laboratory RF signal generators,
military RF-VHF front-end receivers for example Watkins - Johnson, Rohde & Schwarz, A class amplifiers, and
laboratory and so on. They have better features than common MMICs, such as a low input-output VSWR, constant
phase throughout the whole band with a fair group delay, P1dB, IP3 and IP2 specified and guaranteed, etc... They are
typically used in wide band circuits and also where is the need of a very fast response as recovery time.
Some have the two dc-block capacitors already inside which greatly facilitates their use, other models have not the
capacitors inside (which have to be added externally) this is an advantage especially for use at low frequencies and / or
for applications that must be customized considering that they can virtually operate starting by dc.
